Keisai Eisen (1790-1848) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist, renowned for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and landscapes. Born as Ikeda Yoshinobu in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), Eisen was the son of a noted calligrapher, Ikeda Masabe. He initially studied under his father and later became a pupil of the ukiyo-e master Kikugawa Eizan. Eisen's artistic career flourished during the late Edo period, a time when ukiyo-e art was immensely popular and evolving in style and subject matter.

Eisen's work is characterized by its delicate lines, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors. He is particularly celebrated for his portraits of courtesans and geishas, which capture the elegance and beauty of these figures with a keen eye for detail and fashion. His bijin-ga often depict women in elaborate kimonos, set against richly decorated backgrounds, showcasing his skill in rendering textiles and patterns.

In addition to bijin-ga, Eisen also made significant contributions to the genre of landscape prints. His series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital" (Tōto Meisho) is a notable example, depicting various scenic spots around Edo with a blend of realism and artistic interpretation. These works reflect the influence of Hokusai, another master of ukiyo-e, yet Eisen's landscapes maintain a distinct style marked by their atmospheric quality and compositional balance.

Eisen's influence extended beyond his lifetime, impacting subsequent generations of artists. His works are held in high regard and are part of major collections in museums around the world. Despite facing personal hardships, including the loss of his wife and financial difficulties, Eisen's legacy as a master of ukiyo-e remains enduring. His ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of the Edo period continues to resonate with art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
